This list has covered several experiences that can provide us as men with great moments of satisfaction and accomplishment, but none are as crowning as climbing a mountain. After conquering the elements and the force of gravity, perched at the summit thousands of feet in the air, one can't help but feel like the master of the world. It's this reason countless men risk their lives every year to conquer major peaks like Everest. There is no other comparable challenge, and to complete it is to gain the feeling that you can accomplish anything. Really, though, the name and size of the mountain is only part of the experience, and just because you can't or won't tackle the world's most famous climbs doesn't mean taking on smaller challenges is any less worthwhile. The lessons learned are still the same, and every man can benefit from the knowledge that any barrier can be surmounted with enough focus and effort. Remember, if you can climb a mountain, you can certainly deal with that prick of a boss.
